Fig. 2 is a-sectional view tirely of metal and has a rounded enlargement or head 4 at its end.` On the other end of said pin-member is a screw 5 for engaging 'the base-board and around .said screw 1s a bell-sha edpflange 6 which serves-as a brace.

et mem er 7 is alsoV preferably made entirely ofmetal and comprises a casing 8 for the s ring 9, and a flange plate 10. he

'inner en of .s aid casing is closedv while the other opens 0n the face ofA the door. Said "socket-member is set'into the door with the :flange-plate Hush with the surface thereof and issecured by screws 11 assed throu h' holes in said ange-plate. ecauseof t e cylindrical shape of the casing 8, the opening to receive said socket-member may be easily and quickly ,madeby simply bo into the door with the proper size of bit. he 4spring `9 is riveted .to the base or inner end of the casing 8- and freni thence its ends'extend i substantially parallel to each-other ltonearthe opening in'the'ange plate. vJust lwithin said-o ening, the: ends :of'said springearebent `sharp yzinward as at i12 and then-outward form' diY'er guidet e-hea vor?k;nob0n.f.the end-:ofthezpinf member between -saidinward rojections'3-12 sTA'rEs PATENT .OFF
